Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Viator Veritatis This unlikely movie is a concentrate of all the stereotypes the controlled medias daily feed to their public. Here are some of the most preposterous suggestions it attempts to hammer into the viewer's mind: - The German far-right scene is entirely composed of wild, loud, unreasoning skinheads only suited at getting drunk and exercise mindless violence. Just on the contrary, most neonazi militants are perfectly articulate persons with job and family, apt to argument their political views.Only people with an unbalanced familiar background and childhood problems enter the right scene. This idea is so dull that I won't even expend words to counteract it.By contrast refugees are pleasant, quiet, balanced persons who only come to Europe to be reunited with their family. I once lived two months close to a camp full of this... humanity, and I heartily recommend such an experience to anybody approaching this outrageous movie. As a side remainder and according to official (if well-hidden) statistics, 90 % of drug dealing in Germany is managed by immigrants.The conclusion is one of the movie's most weird moments. I won't spoil it for you, but it serves the director's intent in impressing one more cracked stereotype: people in the right scene live and die by futile, pointless violence.In the final grotesquerie, the dying protagonist devotes her final words to explain how wonderful democracy is. Not only the idea is so trite, but hey - everybody expects people suddenly shot in the abdomen to sputter a lecture of regime's political humbug.The movie is technically well-done and enriched by the two female protagonists' excellent acting. Regimes lavish their best efforts on means of propaganda like this one. And that's what the film is: a blatant, straightforward piece of political indoctrination aimed at slandering the Establishment's political opponents. This movie is pretty everything Western free-thought cant reviles... as long as it is performed by its opponents.

ginnosaji I watched this movie a few years ago in a screening provided by our school for educational purposes. The topic itself isn't often depicted in German movies. That's why I was excited to see "Kriegerin". It even won the "German Film Award for Best Feature Film" so it had to be good - but it wasn't.While it is indeed interesting to see the rare portrayal of a female neo-Nazi, and a girl who is getting involved with the right-wing extremist skinheads, "Kriegerin" fails at other aspects. As a German citizen and someone familiar with the right-wing extremist culture, I think it's only showing a clichéd picture composed of neo-Nazis with combat boots, lots of tattoos which say "14 words" or "88", and who are dumb and only seeking violence. It seems as though they are a rather barbaric people. Right-wing extremist skinheads –who behave most of the time as shown in the movie- are not the majority anymore among the neo-Nazis, in fact they're number is decreasing. Neo-Nazism still lives mainly because of two factors: 1. "Autonome Nationalisten (AN)", who make up the largest group of Nazis 2. Political parties such as "NPD", "Republikaner" and other influences in politics."Kriegerin" fails raising awareness of how someone gets sucked into the neo-Nazi scene and what the "common" Nazi is like today. It doesn't really matter whether the acting - especially of Alina Levshin- was good or if the approach of going with female main characters is brave and interesting – the main purpose should be educating the viewer about current racism and anti-Semitism in Germany. Unfortunately, the filmmakers didn't deliver at all. Search the web for "Autonome Nationalisten", and you get a vastly different picture about today's Nazis and their recruiting and propaganda strategies.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Kriegerin" (German term for a female warrior) is a 4-year-old 105-minute movie written and directed by David Wnendt. The best way to see this is not as a film which will tell you accurately about life as a Nazi or life in a Nazi community, but as a character study of two females and what factors caused them to end up in this company of right-wing extremists. It has a lot to do with the behavior from their parents including emotional and physical (the cigarette scene) abuse by those who are supposed to protect them and help them finding their place in life. The way these two girls developed during the movie makes it obvious that they do not necessarily believe in the ideal of Nazis, but their acting in accordance with them is really more a consequence of wanting to belong somewhere and being accepted the way they are. However, quite ironically, they are changing in order to be accepted and they willingly do so. I am not really sure if I found Levshin's or Haase's character more interesting. However, it is obvious that Levshin's character sees parallels to herself in Haase's character. And as she becomes more tolerant (also thanks to the boy), she tries to be a helping hand to Haase's character and maybe prevent her from making the same mistakes she did.This was the big breakthrough film for Ukrainian-born Alina Levshin. She won a German Film Award for it and is since considered among the top actresses of her generation on the German market. And it was also one of Haase's breakthrough films. David Wnendt won a German Film Award as well for his screenplay and the film itself was honored as the third best movie of the year. Wnendt went on to direct the heavily-discussed "Feuchtgebiete" (based on Charlotte Roche's novel) after that, an in my opinion terrible film that couldn't be more different from "Kriegerin". Still, somehow I expected more from "Kriergerin". I really do not believe the screenplay is that good. It's almost entirely Levshin's performance which holds this film so well together. At times, especially at the very final scene near the sea this film could have done with tome more subtlety in my opinion. But Wnendt went for over-the-top showiness instead sadly. Also, I would have preferred an approach which not only displays the women in the Nazi community as victims or as somewhat good people. Maybe one of the guys helping the girls would have been nice as well. It's almost sexist. With some slight alterations, this could have been an actually great film and not only a decent one. Still, all in all, I recommend watching it.

dusan-22 Very good by all means. Done marvelously in the technical and artistic way. And did I say very touching? The movie has dark and very heavy structure. It looks so authentic that involves you easily and then make you upset. It gives a smart portrait of the local neo-nazi movement in one German town but also all the social background that causes the phenomena of it. The basis of the whole movement was actually shown through the character of the main character. The ideals of its members are the same but the inner struggles of the individuals are individual. Fight between good and bad, between love and hate depicted beautifully followed by excellent acting. I also found the music very good. Excellent work! Keep on working.
